Into the mirror I whisper
Grinning with the joy I sing
The quiet reassurance
That nothing else can bring.
I grin because today
I look the part I play
I could pass as queer, I think
Just passably "a gay".
I smile and straighten my shoulders
(The only thing that's straight)
I let myself relax and smile
I think I was worth the wait.
